     SEC. 5214. MODIFICATION OF DEFINITION OF DOMESTIC SOURCE 
                   UNDER DEFENSE PRODUCTION ACT OF 1950.

       (a) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate

       (1) rare earth elements are among the materials the United 
     States domestic industrial base requires to produce modern 
     high-tech devices;
       (2) the People's Republic of China possesses more than 80 
     percent of the world's capacity to process raw ore for rare 
     earth elements, and is the world's biggest reserve, producer, 
     consumer, processor, importer, and exporter of rare earth 
     elements;
       (3) Greenland, a self-governing territory of Denmark in 
     North America, sits on vast, untapped reserves of critical 
     minerals, including rare earth elements; and
       (4) rare earth elements are critically important inputs for 
     the United States domestic industrial base.
       (b) Modification of Definition.--Section 702(7)(A) of the 
     Defense Production Act of 1950 (50 U.S.C. 4552(7)(A)) is 
     amended by striking ``or Canada'' and inserting ``, Canada, 
     or Greenland''.
